How to Hex Bar Squat
Starting Position

2. Feet shoulder-width apart, chest up, and gaze straight ahead.
Proper Form
1. Push your hips back and bend your knees to lift the bar.
2. Straighten your legs and rise, keeping your upper body straight.
3. Send your hips back and slowly lower down to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Breathe out when you rise, and breathe in when you go down.
